The thought was both reassuring and frustrating. Somewhere ahead of him on this path, the fanatic hordes cut their gory path across the universe in his name. The green and black Atreides banner would become a symbol of terror. Wild legions would charge into battle screaming their war cry: "Muad'Dib!" It must not be, he thought. I cannot let it happen. But he could feel the demanding race consciousness within him, his own terrible purpose, and he knew that no small thing could deflect the juggernaut.
(slight reprocess and rotation to better see "the wizard") Description from NASA APOD: Located only 8,000 light years away, the Wizard nebula, pictured above, surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun. All sub exposures were acquired from my backyard on Oct, 1-4 2013. - 25 x 30m Ha (5nm) - 25 x 30m OIII (3nm) - 25 x 30m SII (3nm) Total exposure time: 37.5 hours Equipment: Main Camera: QSI 583 WSG Guide Camera: SXV Lodestar (on OAG) Mount: Astro-Physics Mach 1 Scope: Celestron Edge HD 8" with 0.7x reducer (FL: ~1480mm) Image Aquisition software MaximDL Registed, Calibrated and Stacked in MaximDL Post Processed with PixInsight 1.8 and Photoshop CS6
